Gargoyle murmured in return to the girl's declaration. But at least one ear always remained swiveled towards the tortugan. By lupine law, he would be within his rights to challenge Gargoyle and take the girl by force. Or try to anyway. In which case, Gargoyle would accept such a challenge. He cared about gaining new members for his pack - but he cared more for the freedom of individuals. He would not see such a young soul forced into a pack like Tortuga. And yet even as Gargoyle thought such a thing, the Tortugan surprised him again. With a few words and a respectful nod of the head, he turned round and departed. Gargoyle, who'd returned the stiff, formal nod, now watched him go with a pale flicker of interest. This scene today might require more thought later on. For now, however, he returned his attention to the young fae. "I'm afraid I've done you a discourtesy, however. My name is Gargoyle, and I am the Alpha of Galciem, or Chief as we oft say. Might I inquire your name as we walk?" He gestured with a foreleg for them to walk together. He would match whatever pace she set and would walk alongside her. He was curious of this damsel who seemed so trusting of strangers - though to be fair, his case that trust had not been misplaced. But who was she? Where had she come from? Did she really think she had what it took to stand up to the dangers of the North? Well, at least her first steps towards these dangers would be far from alone. From the moment she had agreed to be a part of Glaciem, she had put herself under Gargoyle's protection. |
